It's CLOUD Hosting.. And checkout the video on Youtube.. "Cloud hosting Explained" ..
Very easy to understand..

 

I assume that there are hundreds of web hosts offering cloud hosting solutions. Compare them and choose the best one.

 

Here is another review on sitecloud.com - http://www.getbestwebhosting.com/sitecloud-review.html

 

Interview with SiteCloud owner Trey Gardner

 

I think the best advantage of cloud hosting is that you pay as you use.

 

"Pay as you host"

 

Cloud hosting allows you to have your files on multiple servers located in the cloud - probably the best thing about cloud hosting is that your site will never get suspended for spikes of traffic.

If your site is becoming famous on, say, Digg, sending 1000s of views in a short period of time, most non-cloud hosting will suspend your account for excessive CPU usage - this even made worse if you use WordPress without caching plugins. Cloud hosting providers won't shut your account for this.

I hope this helps...

 

depend on level of complexity of their cloud hosting configuration, it can be just two servers or hundred of server in one network.
Price varries alot in cloud hosting plan, can be at $5 per month or hundred of dollars per month.
Check the level of cloud network provided, including web server, network router, backup server, harddisk type as some are offering SSD solid-state for their cloud hosting plan.
